Iraqi Airways has suspended all flights to and from Beirut until further notice due to the “deteriorating security situation in Lebanon.” This announcement from Iraq’s transportation ministry follows the recent Israeli strikes on the southern suburbs of Beirut on Friday, which targeted locations believed to be associated with militant groups.

The strikes were part of escalating tensions in the region, prompting concerns over safety and security for travelers. The Iraqi transportation ministry stated that the decision to suspend flights was made in the interest of passenger safety and security, reflecting the airline’s commitment to ensuring the well-being of its customers.

In light of these developments, travelers are advised to monitor updates from Iraqi Airways and consider alternative travel arrangements if necessary. The situation in Lebanon remains fluid, and further actions may be taken depending on the evolving security landscape.
